Starfield, Bethesda’s latest epic space adventure, has been the talk of the gaming community for a wide variety of reasons, both good and bad, since its release last year.

A recent Reddit thread sparked even more interest when one player shared an intriguing conversation they overheard between two companions, Sarah and Andreja. This accidental discovery has led to theories and discussions about the deeper layers of Starfield’s plot.

In the thread, the user recounted how they stumbled upon an interesting conversation between Sarah and Andreja. The exchange began with Andreja mentioning she was expecting another package, and Sarah inquired if she had coordinated it with Vladimir. Andreja seemed doubtful about getting a response.

This conversation, overheard while the player found everyone gathered on the lower level of their ship, gave off strong “mutiny” vibes, according to the user, since they thought both of the companions were conspiring against them. It left the player wondering if anyone else had encountered similar exchanges or knew what they were talking about.

This prompted other users to share their insights in the thread. One user explained that Andreja had been sent to spy on Constellation, a key faction in Starfield. She was caught by Sarah but decided that Constellation wasn’t a threat to her original faction, House Va’ruun. Now, Andreja works as a double agent, reporting back to Sarah as well.

The advice given was to keep Andreja as a companion and engage in conversations with her, as she eventually reveals the whole story as part of her quest line. The OP simply hasn’t progressed far enough, hence not understanding what the interaction actually meant.

The Depth of Starfield’s Main Companions

Starfield’s companions are more than just side characters, they each have their own backstories, motivations, and secrets. Andreja’s storyline is a prime example of the intricate character development Bethesda has implemented, at least for the major companions. Her dual allegiance definitely adds complexity to the game’s plot, especially given her unwavering loyalty towards House Va’ruun.

Players are encouraged to delve deeper into these relationships by consistently interaction with all four of the main companions and switching between them every now and then.  Doing so can uncover hidden plotlines and secrets as part of their questline, revealing a lot more about the game’s universe and lore. 

Paying attention to their conversations can also lead to surprising revelations and added depth, much like the one discovered by the Reddit user. 

House Va’ruun, to which Andreja initially belongs, is another faction with its own agenda and secrets, and they are set to be the main focus of the upcoming Shattered Space expansion that releases later this year. This expansion aims to expand upon the universe of Starfield, offering players new storylines and challenges to explore. Unlike the main game, the expansion will be more linear and narrative-focused, and focus on a single location.
